The general science degrees include basic preparation in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Students can tailor the degree to their specific interests or pursue a preprofessional specialization. The pre-professional specialization provides a student with the coursework needed to continue study in professional schools, including medical, dental, or veterinary schools.

Environmental science is a new option combining courses from biology, chemistry, and environmental engineering. Careers for those who pursue the environmental science degree include wetlands research, natural resource management, oceanography research, and geo-technical consulting work.

The General Science department also advises pre-science majors. These are students who would like to pursue a degree in science, but haven't decided on, or met the requirements for a specific major.
